The Tech Cold War, the multipolarization of the world economy, and IB research
梳理了科技冷战演变为世界经济多极化的过程，并讨论其对国际商务研究与实践的影响，涉及南北分歧、非市场影响、政府与跨国企业关系等议题。
This paper first traces the evolution of the Tech Cold War to multipolarization in the context of major developments in the global economy, i.e. the ascent of China in the 21st century, antagonistic rivalry for technological supremacy between the United States and China, and the impending bifurcation of the world economy and its consequences. The paper then discusses the implications of the aforementioned developments for international business (IB) research and practice. Research topics include the Global North-South divide, nonmarket influences, government-MNE relationships, industrial policy and techno-nationalism, innovation in a multipolar world economy, the rise of middle powers, and innovation under geopolitical pressure.
